Figure 41. Battery Removal and Replacement
When the AC power adapter is not connected, the OptiView XG is powered by whichever battery contains the
most charge. When the batteries have equal amounts of charge, the OptiView XG is powered by both
batteries.
The batteries can be hot-swapped. Replacing one battery will not interrupt the OptiView XG’s operation as
long as the other battery is capable of powering the OptiView XG.
An optional battery kit is available (see
). It contains two batteries, a charging station, and an AC
adapter for powering the charging station.
Battery Life in Sleep or Shut down Modes
Two fully-charged batteries will last approximately 36 hours when the OptiView XG is in Sleep mode.
If you plan to leave the OptiView XG in Sleep mode while unplugged from the AC adapter for an extended
period, power-off the OptiView XG to avoid fully discharging the batteries.
When the OptiView XG has been powered-off (using Windows Shut down), battery life is determined by the
internal discharge rate of the lithium-ion batteries, which is approximately 5-10% per month.
